Translation of the Conclusions of the Appellate Court's Decision

.... – it was the subjects of the appeal themselves [Kate and Gerry McCann]
who, benefiting from an easy access, multiplied themselves in interviews
and interventions in national and international media, one must
conclude that it was them who, voluntarily, limited their rights to
reservation and to the intimacy of private life.

By proceeding in this manner, they opened the way for anyone to equally
express an opinion about the case, contradicting their thesis – without
losing their right to exercise a legitimate, and constitutionally
consecrated, right to an opinion and a freedom of expression of thought.

They used the media for their purposes - mainly in explaining away all the discrepancies their actions and statments had created - and therefore diminished their privacy rights to a level where the right to an opinion weighs more. FANTASTIC!!
